Quick word on the chords: pluck the bass note on the first beat and strum down and then on the third and fourth beats respectively, with maybe a light strum up on the second Can strum all the notes but I find if you just strum the top three (the G,B and e it sounds more like the real thing). And when you strum the G and F for two bars in the strum up instead of plucking the bass note for the second bar. Before the chorus just up.

REPEAT CHORUS exactly as above (Other versions of the solo aren't quite right, so this is the best I could come up with, I think it's pretty much there. I've tried to get the timing right, but you'll need to listen hard to the song if you want to play it perfect.)
